Introduction 

Notes on handling 

Important cautions 

Installation of the system 

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor 

too cold between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). 

• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV. 

• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibrations. 

Power cord 

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands! 

• A small amount of power (1.7 watts) is always consumed 

while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet (the 

center unit only). 

• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, 

always pull the plug, not the power cord. 

To prevent malfunction of the system 

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes 

wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer. 

• Do not insert any metallic object into the system. 

• Do not apply any shock to the moving panel when it is 

open. 

• An 8 cm disc cannot be played back in this system. (Do 

not attempt to insert an 8 cm disc using an adaptor. Doing 

so will damage the system.) 

• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, 

flower, or credit card, etc.) available on the market, 

because it may damage the system. 

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, 

because damage to the system may result.

About discs 

Playable disc types 

This system has been designed to play back the following discs: 

DVD Video, Video CD, Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. 

• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3, 

see “MP3 disc playback” on page 55, and about JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 57. 

• We refer to DVD Video as DVD in this manual. 

Discs you can play: 

Disc Type 

DVD Video CD SVCD Audio CD CD-R CD-RW 

Mark (Logo) 

COMPACT 

DIGITAL AUDIO 

Video Format 

PAL 

Region Code 

Number* 

2 

ALL 

• The following discs cannot be played back: 

– DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc. 

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers. 

– 8 cm disc 

An 8 cm disc cannot be played back in this system. (Do not attempt to insert an 8 cm disc using an adaptor. Doing so will 

damage the system.) 

• On some DVD, Video CD, or SVCD discs, their actual operations may be different from what is explained in this 

manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this system. 

• Notes on CD-R and CD-RW 

– User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.” 

– The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD 

format. 

The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 files or JPEG files are recorded on them. 

However, they may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on 

them. 

Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and 

hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur: 

• Some discs may not be played back. 

• Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally. 

• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly. 

– Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully. 

– CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for 

regular CDs. 

* Note on Region Code 

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded with the color 

system of PAL whose Region Code numbers include “2.” 

Examples: 2 5 

2 

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback 

cannot start. 

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the following....

About discs 

Disc structure 

A DVD Video disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” (See Example 1.) 

For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided 

into some chapters. 

On the other hand, a Video CD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of “tracks.” (See Example 2.) 

In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.) 

Example 1: DVD 

Example 2 : Video CD/SVCD/Audio CD 

Playback Control function (PBC) 

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a 

resolution four times greater than moving pictures. 

• High-resolution still image display 

You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures. 

• Menu-driven playback 

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD and SVCD disc with the Playback Control feature. The 

selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen. 

You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. 

See example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the 

menu, see also page 43). 

NOTE: 

While operating a Video CD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions such as repeat play may not work.

Installing the equipment on the wall 

When attaching the rear speakers to a wall 

Using the supplied speaker wall brackets, you can fix the rear speakers to the wall. 

CAUTION: Attaching the brackets to the wall 

When attaching the brackets to the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person. 

DO NOT attach the brackets to the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage due to their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect 

attachment or weakness in the wall. 

Location of attachment to wall: 

Take care when selecting a location for attaching rear speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may 

result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities. 

Attaching speakers to the brackets 

1 Use the supplied screws to attach the brackets to the rear speakers. 

2 Adjust the angle of the rear speakers. 

Loosen the screw slightly, make an adjustment, and then tighten the screw firmly. 

CAUTION: 

If the screws are not tightened firmly, this may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. 

When attaching the AM (MW) loop antenna to a wall 

You can attach the AM (MW) loop antenna to the wall. 

Mount the AM (MW) loop antenna to a wall using the screw (not supplied) as illustrated below.

When attaching the center unit to a wall 

You can attach the center unit to a wall. 

CAUTIONS: location of attachment to a wall 

• Take care when selecting a location for attaching the center unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to the center 

unit, may result if the center unit is attached in a location which interferes with daily activities, or a location that the users 

are liable to knock their bodies or heads against the center unit. 

• Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passage. 

CAUTIONS: attachment to a wall 

• The center unit weighs approximately 2.95 kg. When you operate the buttons on the center unit, an additional force will be 

applied to the center unit in downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be required when attaching the center unit 

to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the unit’s falling off. 

• Before attaching the center unit to a wall, check the wall (or other related aspects) you want to attach it to, and verify 

whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the center unit itself but also to withstand 

the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operations. 

(Do not attach the center unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The center unit will fall and sustain damage as a result.) 

If you cannot judge the strength of the wall or other aspects, consult a qualified person (such as a qualified constructor). 

• The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the 

pillar or wall. 

• When attaching the center unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Failure in attaching the center unit 

to the wall using all three holes on the back of the center unit makes for an unstable attachment, and it constitutes a safety 

hazard as the center unit may fall down. 

Example of attachment 

The procedure below is an example of how to attach the center unit to a wall: 

It dose not make any guarantee for safety while using the center unit on the wall. Take into account such factors as the 

material, strength, and the status of the wall as well as the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take place 

over time. 

NOTES: 

• You need to connect the cords to the center unit (and attach the supplied stand) before attaching it to the wall. 

• DO NOT plug the power cord into an AC outlet before attaching the center unit to the wall. 

• When attaching the supplied stand to the center unit, connect the system cord, video cord, and so on by passing them through the holes at 

the bottom of the stand, and do not attach the legs to the stand. See page 9. 

1 Select the place where the center unit is to be attached. 

2 Mount three screws (not supplied) to the wall. 

Use the screws as illustrated below. 

You can use the supplied paper pattern to mark the positions where the screws are mounted. 

Keep the space of 6 to 7 mm.

3 Hook the center unit onto the mounted screws, and slide it to left, then down. 

Make sure that the center unit is attached securely. 

• Adjust the screws if the center unit is not attached securely. 

Slide to left, then down. 

NOTES: 

• Do not place anything on top of the center unit. Doing so may cause the center unit to fall down, and cause injury to the persons arround. 

• Do not climb onto the center unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the center unit and/or cause injury to the person. 

Take care specially when there are small children at the home. 

• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the center unit and wall. This may upset the balance of the center unit, and cause the center unit to fall 

down. 

• Make sure that the connected cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not be caught in the cords. 

• Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force. 

• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose. 

• In the event that the center unit has fallen, turn the power off, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for an 

inspection and repairs. Using it in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock. 

• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the center unit is attached. They will be damaged if the center unit should 

fall. 

• The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient 

strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.

Using the RDS (Radio Data 

System) to receive FM stations 

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along 

with their regular program signals. For example, the stations 

send their station names, as well as information about what 

type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, 

etc. 

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, 

the RDS indicator lights up on the display window. 

7 What information can RDS signals 

provide? 

You can see the RDS signals the station sends on the display 

window.

How the Enhanced Other Network function 

actually works: 

CASE 1 

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have 

selected 

The system continues tuning in to the current station. 

« 

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have 

selected, the system automatically switches to the station. 

The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing. 

« 

When the program is over, the system goes back to the 

previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network 

function still remains activated. 

CASE 2 

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the 

program you have selected 

The system continues to receive the station but the 

indicator of received PTY code starts flashing. 

« 

When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY 

code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced 

Other Network function still remains activated. 

NOTES: 

• In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the 

source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled 

temporarily. 

If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to 

Enhanced Other Network standby mode. 

• Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be 

compatible with this system. 

• Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations 

with RDS service. 

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other 

Network function, the station does not change even if another 

network station starts broadcasting a program of the same 

Enhanced Other Network data. 

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other 

Network function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS 

DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons. 

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced 

Other Network. 

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program 

type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display 

window. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network 

standby mode and goes back to the previously selected 

station. 

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm signal) is sent 

from an FM station. 

The system automatically tunes in to the station except in the 

following cases: 

• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM—MW 

stations, some FM stations and other sources). 

• When the system is in standby mode. 

While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears 

on the display window. 

The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it 

can receive the Alarm signal correctly. 

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as 

the Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the 

system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the 

TEST signal. 

While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the

Creating the realistic sound fields 

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field. 

7 Dolby Surround 

• Dolby Pro Logic II 

• Dolby Digital 

7 DTS Digital Surround 

7 DAP modes 

7 All Channel Stereo 

7 Dolby Surround 

Dolby Pro Logic II* 

Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel 

playback format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo 

source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 

channel. 

Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II 

makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and 

enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro 

Logic. 

Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from 

original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal 

colorations. 

Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music 

mode: 

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of 

Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark 

DOLBY SURROUND . You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one 

created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds. 

Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of 

any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep 

sound by using this mode. 

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PRO LOGIC II 

indicator lights up on the display window. 

Dolby Digital* 

Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software 

encoded with Dolby Digital ( ). 

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch (DOLBY D) encoding method (so-called 

discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and 

digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, 

center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE 

channel signals. 

Since each channel is completely independent from the other 

channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much 

better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. 

NOTE: 

Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories— 

multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy 

surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can 

use Dolby Pro Logic II. 

7 DTS Digital Surround** 

Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software 

encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ). 

DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURR) is another discrete 

multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and 

DVD software. 

Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is 

relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to 

add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a 

result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear 

sound.

7 DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes 

DAP modes have been designed to create important 

acoustic surround elements. 

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion 

consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections 

and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener 

directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect 

sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls 

(see the diagram below). 

These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic 

surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic 

sound field by adding these indirect sounds. 

The following DAP modes are provided with this system. 

LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a 

low ceiling. 

DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat. 

HALL: 

PAVILION: 

Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a 

concert hall. 

Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with 

a high ceiling. 

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround 

effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either 

analog or Linear PCM, and can give you a real “being there” 

feeling. 

• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator 

lights up on the display window. 

Early reflections

Reflections from behind 

7 All Channel Stereo 

All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) mode can reproduce a 

larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel 

stereo software, either analog or Linear PCM. 

• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator

MP3 disc playback 

This system can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW (MP3 disc). 

• Before performing the operation in this section from the remote control, press DVD to use the remote control for the MP3 

disc operations. 


• If “ ” appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do. 

IMPORTANT: 



position: 


7 What is MP3? 

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or 

MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a 

data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD- 

RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular 

CD can. 

7 Disc structure 

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. 

Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also 

include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. 

Up to 99 groups 

Group 1 

Track 1 Track 2 

Up to 150 tracks 

Group 2 

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc 

and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.” 

This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 

99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks). The system ignores those 

exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them. 

• If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those 

files are also counted in the total number of 150. 

7 NOTES for MP3 disc 

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer 

readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the 

directory/file configuration.) 

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or 

Level 2 as the disc format. 

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 

sessions). 

• This system can not play “packet write” discs. 

• The system can play MP3 files only with the following file 

extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.” 

• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display. 

* An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where 

its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There 

are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag 

version 2). 

• We recommended to record each song (material) at 

a samplerate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps. 

• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the 

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.” 

(See page 62.) 

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their 

disc characteristics or recording conditions.

7 What is JPEG? 

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the 

Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small 

decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression 

ratio. 

7 Disc structure 

On a JPEG disc, each still picture (material) is recorded as a 

file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also 

include another folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. 

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc 

and manages folders by “groups.” 

This system can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99 

groups per disc (up to 14,850 files). The system ignores those 

exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them. 

• If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those 

files are also counted in the total number of 150. 

7 NOTES for JPEG disc 

• JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer 

readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the 

directory/file configuration.) 

• When making a JPEG disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or 

Level 2 as the disc format. 

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 

sessions). 

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs. 

• The system can play JPEG files only with the following file 

extensions: “.jpg,” “.jpeg,” “.JPG,” “.JPEG” and any 

uppercase and lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”). 

• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a 

file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 

480, it will take a longer time to be shown.) 

• If both JPEG files and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, set 

the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “JPEG.” 


• This system can play only baseline JPEG files*. Progressive 

JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played. 

• Some JPEG discs may not be played back because of their 

disc characteristics or recording conditions. 

* • Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc. 

• Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. 

• Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

Maintenance 

To get the best performance of the system, keep your discs 

and mechanism clean. 

General Notes 

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping 

your discs, and the mechanism clean. 

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on 

shelves. 

Handling Discs 

• Remove the disc from its case 

by holding it at the edge while 

pressing the center hole lightly. 

• Do not touch the shiny surface 

of the disc, or bend the disc. 

• Put the disc back in its case 

after use to prevent warping. 

Cleaning the system 

• Stains on the system 

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily 

stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral 

detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. 

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become 

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the 

following. 

— DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. 

— DO NOT wipe it strong. 

— DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. 

— DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as 

insecticides to it. 

— DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact 

with it for a long time. 

— DO NOT clean the moving panel when it is open. 

• Be careful not to scratch the 

surface of the disc when 

placing it back in its case. 

• Avoid exposure to direct 

sunlight, temperature 

extremes, and moisture. 

To clean the disc 

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in 

a straight line from center to 

edge. 

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional 

record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to 

clean the disc.

Glossary 

Aspect ratio 

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed 

image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 

4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9. 

Chapter 

Refers to individual chapters included in a title. 

Composite video signal 

Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals 

combined: an image signal made up of luminance and 

chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication 

technique; burst signal providing the basis for color 

reproduction; and synchronization signal. 

Disc menu 

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, 

sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD. 

JPEG 

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the 

Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small 

decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression 

ratio. 

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation) 

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal 

for later processing, with no data compression used in 

conversion. 

Letter box 

A method of displaying wide images like movies in the center 

of a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by 

placing black bands on the top and bottom of the screen.

sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks 

having three or more channels. 

Multilanguage 

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is 

generally called a multilanguage title. 

Parental lock 

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or 

not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its 

parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. 

from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand 

with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level 

is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced. 

Playback control (PBC) 

Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for 

controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on 

a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy 

interactive-type software as well as software having a search 

function. 

Region code 

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the 

regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world 

are divided into six regions, each region being identified by a 

specified region code (or region number). If the region code 

given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the 

region code of a player, the player can play back the disc. 

Surround 

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of 

realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener. 

Sampling frequency 

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted 

to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents 

how many times the original analog signal is sampled per 

second. 

Transfer rate 

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in 

baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable 

transfer rate system for high efficiency.
